Today, we announced that the SEC has declared the Registration Statement on Form S-4 effective. The proposed business combination will be submitted to $CEPT shareholders of record as of May 11, 2026 (the "Record Date"), for approval at a special meeting scheduled for June 29, 2026, and, if approved, is expected to close shortly thereafter. Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company is expected to operate under the name Securitize Corp., and its shares are expected to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "SECZ."

Yeah!

Today we’re expanding the Securitize Tokenized AAA CLO Fund (STAC) to @solana. We’re also excited to share that @ethena plans to allocate $250 million to the fund, representing one of the largest commitments to tokenized structured credit on Solana to date.

The mistake the banks are making is treating crypto like a technology rather than a network. It's great that they're using new tech to upgrade their backends, but it has nothing to do with the internet of value, which is the whole point.

Today's pod is with @Observatory13, President of @Securitize. Brett traces how tokenization has evolved from floor-based trading rooms to onchain capital markets, why tokenized stocks might be the next major frontier, and the conversations happening between bulge bracket banks about bringing tokenized IPOs to onchain investors within the next year or two.

"I owe you an honest explanation. I *was* at the meeting, but not in the way you might expect. When you said 'the 5pm meeting yesterday', I took that as an invitation to imagine what the meeting were like had I been there. And that's the mistake."

Those of us who have been around tech long enough recognize this pattern: When the internet was first commercialized, the largest companies resisted putting their businesses online because they did not want their data on the public internet. So they built proprietary extranets, closed and permissioned networks that used TCP/IP but only allowed certain companies in. But open networks beat closed ones. Every one of those extranets died, and now every business runs on the open internet. The same thing is happening in banking right now. JPMorgan, Citi and Wells Fargo can see that blockchains are superior (faster, cheaper, global) but they want to control them. So they are launching their own private, permissioned networks. Sound familiar? This too will fail. Interoperability and global reach always beat control. The banks will spend years and billions trying to keep their closed networks competitive with open ones, and they will lose that race. The web3 startups building new payment, banking and financial services companies onchain should be thrilled about this. Every year the banks continue this doomed strategy is another year of head start for the people building on open rails.
